If you recall, on behalf of those here who donated I had dialogue with them as follows and by the way, Kevin never did get back to me about why it happened. John S ----old snippage--- Dear John Thank you for your email and for pointing out this lapse on our behalf. Firstly, I must apologise for not being aware of the kind donations from your members, but I am absolutely sure all of these donations is valued and welcomed. Please do pass on my thanks to your members. I will investigate why we didn't respond sooner and get back in touch as soon as I can. I hope we will see you at the museum and see the machine in full working order! Kind regards and many thanks.
